See now? In America, when a woman throws a drink at a comic, SHE gets arrested (updated with video!)

Sweeney told police he was talking to friends between shows when a woman threw a glass of beer at him.

Police arrested Erica F. Porzio, 24, of Revere, who they charged not only with assaulting Sweeney, but also the club’s owner, Steven Castraberti, who suffered a broken finger when he said he tried to restrain her.

Sweeney said he was approached by Porzio who told him she was offended by a comment he made concerning her sexuality during the show.

Porzio’s father said Sweeney made derogatory remarks about her off stage, not during his comedy routine.
